RE: Water Pump/Head ByPass Hose

Just as a matter of point...

It will take FOUR 1/8" holes to equal the same area as one 1/4" hole.
And, it will take a little more work (pressure) to push through the four
smaller holes compared to one larger hole.

I'm not say the original 1/4 size was correct, just fixin' the math...

to fit in the small area around the T'state.  I've used JB Weld and a small
bolt in the outlet in the water pump.
